Introduction

gscrub ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our Chrome extension and web application at gscrub.com.

Data We Collect

Email Address

We collect your email address when you sign in with Google. This is used to:

  • Identify your account and license status
  • Track your cleanup statistics across sessions
  • Send transactional emails (purchase receipts only)

Gmail Data Access

Our Chrome extension accesses your Gmail to perform cleanup operations. We:

  • DO read email metadata (sender, category labels) to identify cleanup candidates
  • DO delete emails you explicitly choose to clean up
  • DO NOT read email content or bodies
  • DO NOT store your emails on our servers
  • DO NOT share your email data with third parties

Cleanup Statistics

We collect aggregated statistics about your cleanup operations:

  • Number of emails deleted per category
  • Estimated space freed
  • Cleanup timestamps

This data helps you track your progress and allows us to improve the service.

How We Use Your Data

  • License Verification: Your email validates your purchase and license tier
  • Statistics Dashboard: Display your cleanup history and achievements
  • Service Improvement: Aggregated, anonymized data helps us improve gscrub
